Jurors Commissioner Reilly is trying to arrange
things SO that nobody will have TO serve n
juror more than once in Two years. This Is sensi-
bic. II once sitting in jury box were to operate
as an exemption from further duty for three
years, there would be much less reluctance than
at present TO jury service. Consequently q better
class OF jurors would be obtanabc. Jury duty Is
not agreeable for most people, but everybody
ought 10 be willing to do his share of it. The
trouble heretofore has been that when man once
got on the Commissioners lists he was liable to
be called on much oftener than was pleasant.

sweep accumulates. The Civil Service Record"
Of Boston, has been examining the unclassifcd
service in the Interior Department, and finds that
up to July / out of 377 positions filled by direct
appointment of the President, only thirty-nine
remain unchanged The rapidity with which
changes have been made is thus set forth: On
October l, $50, tho percentage of changes was
II; on January /, 1919; on July l, 90. At this
rate the date at which the percentage will reach
100 can readily be computed.

Is Secretary Lamar's decision against tho
Atlantic and Pacific Railroad merely piece
Of political claptrap? That is what is cruelty
asserted by wcll-versed lawyer who Is quoted
In our Washington dispatch. 1t seems that
thc decisions of General" Sparks havo
augered almost all the settlers on Government
lands, and this decision against railroad is
put forth as cheap method of otfsetting the
bad feeling toward the Administration which
bparkss course has engendered. An offset to
Sparks does appear TO be badly needed.
1t docs not appear that the elevator which
fell Yesterday with fatal results was OVER
weighted Or that blame can be attached to
any ole for the breaking of the wheel that
caused tho accident But the elevator was
never built to carry passengers and there
we're no appliances to check its fall. If the
gates had been closed it is probable that none
of the passengers would have received severe
injuries. Ii was an act of kindness on the
part of factory proprietors to let their women
employees use the elevator, but it proves to
have been mistaken kindness. So many
elevators are now in use and they arc 40
necessary in our lofty buildings that too great
care cannot be taken to secure tho safety Of
all who enter them.

BURGLAR.
Early Saturday morning the people in the vicin-
ity OF lO6th street and Lexington avenue, New
York city, were startled by rumpus In front OF a
grocery store on the corner. Aided by an unknown
accomplish, John Smith had about effected an
entrance into the store, when he was discovered
by Policeman Kane, who sought to take him into
custody. Smith took to his heels and, followed by
the Officer, ran like lightning TO the New York
Central tunnel at 105th street. Into this he
plunged, drawing revolver as he ran and OPEN
ing lire on his purouer. Officer Kane promptly
drew his own revOiver and began to return Smith s
fire. In another moment the latter passed into
the tunnel, still followed by the plucky policeman.
The two men spent the next two minutes shooting
at each other in the dark. Then the policeman
made quick bound, and, throwing his full force
upon Smith, sent him sprawliDg on the ground.
He quickly put pair OF handouts around Smiths
wrists, and, having supplemented this treatment
by few well-directed blows from his club, his
prisoner became submissive and was safely con-
veyed to the SStl street police statiOn-house,
where he was locked up. Smith Is well known to
the police force, havi g been for a long time the
leader OF the notorious ''Stable G ing."
